Answer:

$91.07

Step-by-step explanation:

You cannot take off 9.8% from $100 to find the answer, since 9.8% of $100 is more tax than she will pay. The toy has to cost less than $100, so that when you add 9.8% tax the price you end up with exactly $100, and 9.8% of under $100 is less that 9.8% of $100. Maybe this is why you are a few cents off.

This is how you do it.

The price of the toy is unknown, so we'll cal it x.

When you add 9.8% tax to x, you want to end up with exactly $100.

x + 9.8% of x = 100

Write 9.8% as a decimal by dividing the percent by 100.

9.8% = 9.8/100 = 0.098

Now we have:

x + 0.098x = 100

Add like terms on the left side:

1.098x = 100

Divide both sides by 1.098:

x = 100/1.098

x = 91.07

Answer: The most expensive toy she can get costs $91.07 before tax.

Check:

We now add 9.8% tax to $91.07 and make sure the total cost including tax  is no more than $100.

$91.07 + 9.8% of $91.07 =

= $91.07 + 0.098 * $91.07

= $91.07 + $8.92

= $99.99

It seems that you could try to spend one more cent, to really get to the $100 limit, so let's try $91.08 as the most expensive toy she can buy.

We now add 9.8% tax to $91.08 and see what the total cost including tax is.

$91.08 + 9.8% of $91.08 =

= $91.08 + 0.098 * $91.08

= $91.08 + $8.93

= $100.01

You see that if Megan gets a $91.08 toy, with tax, the total cost is $100.01, which is over the $100 limit, so the answer is indeed $91.07.

The word "less than" represent what operation?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

  • The term 'less than' is used to indicate the relationship between two values.
  • The term 'less than' symbolically represented as '<'.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The term 'less than' is used to indicate the relationship between two values.

It expresses that one value will be lesser than the other.

The term 'less than' symbolically represented as '<'.

We can implement certain operations like comparing values, heights, and numbers.

For example, there are 3 pencils in one bag A, and 8 pencils in bag B.

When we compare the two, we can easily observe that bag A has fewer pencils than bag B.

Thus,

Pencils in Bag A       <         Pencils in Bag A

           3                     <                    8

What are the real and complex solutions of the polynomial equation? x^3-8=0. with imaginary numbers
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Solutions are 2,  -1 +  0.5 sqrt10 i  and -1 - 0.5 sqrt10 i

or 2,  -1 +  1.58 i  and -1 - 1.58i

(where the last 2 are equal to nearest hundredth).


Step-by-step explanation:

The real solution is x = 2:-

x^3 - 8 = 0

x^3 = 8

x = cube root of 8 = 2

Note that a cubic equation must have  a total of 3 roots ( real and complex in this case).  We can find the 2 complex roots by using the following identity:-

a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2).

Here  a = x and b = 2 so we have

(x - 2)(x^2 + 2x + 4) = 0

To find the complex roots we solve x^2 + 2x + 4 = 0:-

Using the quadratic formula x = [-2 +/- sqrt(2^2 - 4*1*4)] / 2

= -1 +/- (sqrt( -10)) / 2

= -1 +  0.5 sqrt10 i  and -1 - 0.5 sqrt10 i
